Sheep Draft Version 2.0

[NUFAN]

WHAT?!? This is ridiculous! In a good way for me!

So, Nufan, does this mean that we can take out one player from our current eleven and substitute that player with the guy who we get in rd12?

Certainly does mate. You pick your best XI, your 12th man is not considered when the vote starts. Again though please don't post your best team yet as one of the failures could select your player once again.

Yeah, I realized that after rd1. Wont post the side.

 

[NUFAN]

Haha yeah.

Some seriously good players selected this round, some of the best ever to play the game. Others slightly less than amazing though too, so it may be tough for everyone to get a PASS this round.

 

[Blakus]

Oh yeah
So happy right now. Got the best possible player for improving my side.

 

[kof98]

I hope whoever fails gets Rawl Lewis

 

[Matt79]

That's the second time Bradman has been available according to the question's criteria and the second time I've missed out due to ONE other person deciding to nominate him. Not surprised that no-one banned him, disappointed that Michaelf777777777 screwed up an otherwise fine plan.

Nah not entirely true. Someone did vote for him in round 12AA, I just didn't mention it cause there were 2 of you in 12A who picked the same.

[Matt79]

Don't **** up my story man...

 

[Matt79]

Was Gilly nominated in 12AA?

 

[NUFAN]

Was Gilly nominated in 12AA?

I'll tell you all of 12AA selections at the completion of 12C.

 

[Matt79]

You're a ****

 

[G.I.Joe]

NUFAN's a phallic ninja?

 

[Somerset]

Somerset - can't take a hint

Apologies - badly needed a wicket keeper though and Gilly was worth a shot.

So from here could everyone post up there final XI's. Once everyone has posted up there team, we'll do a private vote to work out who the winner is of sheepdraft version 2.0 is. Please feel free to write a short blurb on the makeup of your team.

 

[Somerset]

If I'd known GI Joe was going to select Walcott I'd have gone for Andy Flower or Les Ames, but at least I've got a wicket keeper now so shouldn't really complain about having Knott as part of my team.

Biased Somerset Indian XI
Chris Gayle (c)
Sanath Jayasuriya
Vijay Hazare
Vijay Merchant
Graeme Dowling
Alan Knott (wk)
Azhar Mahmood
Heath Streak
Murray Chapple
Dipak Patel
Curtly Ambrose

Given Gavin Hamilton's test record (no runs, no wickets) I've obviously chosen to leave him out. Having Murray Chapple is also a bit frustrating and I'd bat him below Mahmood and Streak, while Dipak Patel isn't the ideal specialist spinner. However I think my top four is an exciting combination, and Ambrose is obviously the key to my bowling success, so my team's fortunes would depend a lot on those stars.
